Strictly professional dancer Neil Jones and his reality star girlfriend Chyna Mills are engaged and expecting their first child together.
The Strictly Come Dancing pro and Love Island Casa Amor beauty met and began dating last year not long after Chyna's exit from the ITV villa.
Seven months on and the couple are reportedly on "cloud nine" as they are expecting their first child together and preparing to tie the knot as they have also got engaged.
Neil, 40, had planned to pop the question to Chyna, 24, before they found out she was pregnant and had been secretly organising a holiday proposal whilst on the Strictly tour last year.
The professional dancer even confided in former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Tyler West, who they video-called to share their baby news with.
Chyna told Hello! magazine: "After the baby news, we were on cloud nine – and now this. It still doesn't feel real."
Neil later added: "I'd already planned to ask Chyna to marry me before we knew she was pregnant. Then we found out and I was like: 'Oh, this is brilliant, everything is coming together."
Chyna admitted she thought Neil was joking when he popped the question as they "play jokes on each other all the time".
However, she soon said yes after a little nudge from Neil. The engagement will be a long one for the couple as Neil and Chyna want their unborn bundle of joy to be at their nuptials
"We thought it would be cute if the baby can be walking around at the wedding," professional dancer Neil said.
The pair have been smitten since they began dating last year after Chyna caught Neil's eye while she was on Love Island. After her exit from the villa, Neil reached out to Chyna on Instagram.
The pair then met in person when they attended the same event together.
Professional dancer Neil and Love Island beauty Chyna, who was a youth support worker before her stint on the ITV reality dating show, first sparked romance rumours last year.
Their romance was soon confirmed when the pair headed on a trip to Paris together in August and shared photos on their social media pages.
During the trip to the city of love, the couple was photographed holding hands and in October, the couple told the Mirror they were taking their romance slowly.
When asked if the pair are planning on living together, Neil said: "We don't know yet, we're having such a nice time together, still getting to know each other – she's putting up with me slowly."
Neil was previously married to Strictly pro Katya Jones. But the pair parted ways after 11 years together in 2019.
Announcing their separation, they said: "We will always love each other, just in a different way as friends. This will never change what a great team we make and we are really proud of everything we have achieved together."
